Yadea M3

Battery and motor

The Yadea M3 uses a 60V 23Ah graphene battery and a motor rated at 1200W, with a peak output of 2400W. Yadea claims a range of 80 km on a single charge, a top speed of 42 km/h and a charging time of 6 to 8 hours. Maximum torque is listed at 85 Nm and the maximum climbing angle is 12 degrees. Yadea also says the motor is up to 90 percent efficient. All of these figures are manufacturer claims, and real-world range will depend on rider weight, speed and road conditions.

Size and practicality

The M3 measures 1,730 mm long, 710 mm wide and 1,060 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 1,190 mm and a ground clearance of 120 mm. The maximum load is 150 kg, which is enough for a rider and a light passenger. Yadea describes cushioned seating with a seat length of up to 700 mm. It rolls on 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres that Yadea says resist skidding and rolling resistance. The span length, which is the distance between the seat and the handlebar area, is listed as 340 mm.

Equipment

Only one version is sold. Braking is a disc at both the front and the rear, which is better than the drum rear brakes used on some cheaper scooters. The dashboard is a high-resolution LED screen that shows the remaining battery power and adjusts its brightness automatically to the light around it. Yadea lists an energy-monitoring digital dashboard as a feature. The page does not mention a removable battery, USB charging, reverse mode, cruise control or app connectivity. Two colours are offered: blue and red.

Price, warranty and which one to buy

The official price is PKR 174,000. The M3 page does not list a warranty, so please ask the dealer for the written terms covering the battery, motor and controller. Yadea’s partnership announcement with Eiffel Industries (Road Prince) in 2023 mentioned a 24-month warranty on Yadea scooters, but this is not repeated on the M3 page, so we have not treated it as confirmed. In our opinion, the M3 suits students, short commutes and city errands, where a 42 km/h top speed is enough. It offers disc brakes at both ends and alloy wheels at a lower price than the T5 and G5. If you want a longer-life battery with a longer warranty, the M3H costs about Rs 81,000 more and uses a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a 4-year warranty. If you want a faster scooter, look at the GT30 or Ruibin.
